Salzburg-based artist Csaba Fürjesi presents the multiple installation “Agapé,” which combines visual art and ecology. In addition to painting, drawing and photography, the artist is intensively involved with the expansion of the boundaries of relief printing techniques and with combinations of graphic techniques. He has already received several awards for the “Multitypie” graphic process he developed, including the Slavi Soucek Graphic Arts Scholarship in 2020.
Based on his 2020 video performance about the Last Supper, he has created numerous graphic artworks and installations over the course of the last few years. The juxtaposition of sovereign works of different formality on the same theme is presented as a kind of intellectual bricolage that harmonises with each other in the Kabinett. The works on display confront the viewer with a series of questions about traditional cultures and modernity, about the sacred and the profane.
Csaba Fürjesi (*1969 in Salgótarján, Hungary) lives in Oberalm and works in Hallein, Salzburg. He studied at the University of Applied Arts in Budapest (2003). In 2010 Fürjesi won the main prize of the Transylvanian International Graphic Biennial. In 2011 he worked in the USA, after which he became the artistic director of the International Contemporary Artcamp Cered in Hungary. In 2020 he was also awarded the Grand Prize of the Graphic Arts Triennial in Miskolc.
